It is reducing children's resistance to previously common bacterial infections in the developed world, because they are never exposed to them. Before we had antibacterial soap, children were exposed to bacteria. They got sick, and their immune systems figured out how to fight off the infection, ultimately making them stronger. But now, children are not exposed to the bacteria, and as a result their immune systems may be underdeveloped. Ironically, the lack of bacterial exposure during childhood makes them more susceptible to dangerous infections as adults.
In addition, exposure to antibacterial agents may be causing bacteria to evolve such that they become resistant to the antibiotics and are more difficult to treat.

Over use of antibacterials decreases our resistance to bacteria. A little expose to bacteria increases our immune system. Underexposure to bacteria reduces our ability to fight harmful bacteria when we are exposed to them.
